But that's why I decided to get back in the groove of the dental visits....I didn't want to be blindsided by dental issues when we start trying to conceive next year or so. :) (Congrats, by the way)<br /><br />@ Sarah: Ouch. That's a definite pain in the wallet!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684408027279217577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875408894328706970.post-65241065825708801332010-07-20T12:48:24.293-04:002010-07-20T12:48:24.293-04:00I totally feel your pain. I just got married and I...I totally feel your pain. I just got married and I no longer have dental insurance. Ouch. I had to go pay two hundred dollars for a retainer last week.

Being an old lad...OMG, health care is so expensive. Being an old lady of 37 years, I can say that you are definitely on to something. I had really terrible teeth as a young child so was always in the dentist's office. But I continued the practice of visiting the dentist even when I was in college and through the years out of habit. It has paid off. I have little issues in that area. But my friends don't have it so good. Gingivitis is the biggest issue. And gum disease is magnified if/when you get pregnant. A girl in my office had to have gum surgery after she had her son because the hormones reeked havoc on her already damaged gums. <br /><br />Sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to say good for you for taking care of yourself and realizing prevention is much easier (and cheaper) than correction. <br /><br />Love your blog!Creature Gorgeoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025301441663999179noreply@blogger.com
